Project Manager / Coordinator for Digital Products

Dex Media is dedicated to working with local businesses to provide marketing solutions that will help them win, keep and grow their business and be successful. There was a time when all that was needed to promote a business was a listing in the local newspaper. However, times have changed. Today’s local businesses often find themselves in direct competition with national chains or subjected to the pricing whims of local on-demand companies.

This is not a traditional project management role. In this role, you will be working with several other product managers as a digital portfolio coordinator to ensure successful delivery of products across the entire digital product suite. This role requires basic knowledge of search marketing, social, and digital lead generation. Major responsibility is to update the executives on product deliverables through weekly updates, power point storytelling, and other communications tools. The digital portfolio coordinator will maintain positive, upbeat communication with internal clients and interdepartmental teams.
